Summary
On Windows with Codex using OpenSpace through stdio MCP, MCP initialization and tool discovery succeed, but search_skills never returns.
This is related to #36 but more specific: all OpenSpace tools are already visible before the local search call blocks.
Environment
- Windows; Python 3.12.5
- OpenSpace current
main, installed with pip install -e .
- Codex desktop, stdio MCP
- MCP runtime:
mcp 1.29.0
- No cloud/LLM credentials configured for this local-search test
pip install -e . initially selected mcp 2.0.0, but OpenSpace imports mcp.server.fastmcp, which is absent in MCP 2. Installing mcp<2 was required to start the server.
Reproduction
- Start
openspace-mcp through a stdio MCP client with OPENSPACE_WORKSPACE set to a local ASCII checkout and OPENSPACE_HOST_SKILL_DIRS set to the host skills directory.
- Initialize the session and call
list_tools.
- Call
search_skills with query delegate task.
Actual result
- Tool discovery succeeds and returns:
cloud_auth_flow, cloud_browse_skills, execute_task, fix_skill, search_skills, upload_skill.
search_skills does not return within 240 seconds.- The same behavior remained after moving to an ASCII checkout path, granting the host write access for logs/runtime state, trying shell-only scope, and setting an ASCII session-storage directory.
Expected result
Local search should return results or an actionable error without waiting indefinitely. The host integration guide states local search_skills works without a cloud API key.
Notes
The host MCP configuration has tool_timeout_sec = 600 for long execute_task calls. This report is about the standalone local search_skills call. Sanitized logs are available on request.
